If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it. Tom Send a noteboard - 24/05/2010 02:56:39 PM
We wouldn't be limiting ourselves to conventional weapons at that point. Tactical nuclear shells from artillery comes to mind. Note that the US recently refused to rule out the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea when it said that it would never use nuclear weapons except in defense against nations that were parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 850 Views

Korea is directly in our sphere of influence - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 737 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 897 Views
In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang. - 24/05/2010 05:50:52 PM 716 Views
Oh yuck - there are far better ways. - 24/05/2010 06:01:44 PM 757 Views

I agree - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 896 Views
Pretty much agree with all of that. *NM* - 24/05/2010 05:17:27 PM 330 Views

No, they don't - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 802 Views
North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 768 Views
The internal political dynamic in North Korea is such that they constantly need a crisis. - 25/05/2010 03:03:59 AM 791 Views
You are missing the main point. - 25/05/2010 03:36:37 AM 842 Views
I'm not saying it's nothing new. - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 802 Views
